MOVIETIME!

Ask me what movies I AM GOING to see this week and this is what I will tell you.

This one...

THE HOST

(I'm actually REALLY, REALLY excited about this movie. Did I mention that WETA designed the movie's big, scary, fucking monster? Well, they did!)

And This One...

300

And if 300 gives me the royal ass-kicking that it promises to deliver, then I'll see that motherfucker again, next week, on the IMAX.

I've also been offered a chance to get high next weekend and go see this movie.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES.

If I didn't have a spate of upcoming job interviews that might require me to pee clean, I would consider it. I'll take a pass on both the joint AND the turtles for now. Sounds like a nice Sunday afternoon movie rental. Besides, isn't a cool-ass, CGI Turtles movie, like what, 17 years too late? Do they REALLY expect that movie to do very well?

Cheers all,
Mr.B



(And yes, I KNOW, you nitpicky bastards, that is NOT the poster for the recent ALL CGI Turtles movie, that I posted there. But that came up on a Google search for the new poster and Point #1) It's in French and Point #2) It has Vanilla Ice on there as a Selling Point! Don't you see? I HAD to use that poster. Let's just both know that I meant the new movie and move on from there, okay?)

So, I saw 300 yesterday. It was big and loud and violent. When I think about it later, all I can remember is that there was A LOT of stabbing and spearing of people. In Slo Mo. Lots and lots of slo mo.

Also, the added plotlines of Gorgo (Leonidas's wife) dealing with the Spartan senate was slow and a bit boring.

It's popcorn, people. Well designed, visually attractive popcorn. Which was pretty much what I thought it was going to be. I don't think that I will bother to race out to see it on the IMAX or to own it. It wasn't THAT great.

Cheers,
Mr.B
